Such a change of cars between elevator shafts can thereby be carried out for example only between adjacent elevator shafts or in particular also flexibly between non-adjacent elevator shafts.
  • An elevator system comprising individually movable elevator cars is known from EP 1 619 157 B1, in which elevator cars can change between individual shafts.

  • steps b) and c) repeating steps b) and c) for further elevator shafts, until a desired number of elevator shafts or all elevator shafts have an assignment of a travel direction UP or DOWN, which is opposite to the assignment during the first operating state, for providing a second operating state.
  • a successive reversal of the travel directions assigned to the individual elevator shafts is carried out advantageously.
  • a reversal of the direction for the individual shafts thus advantageously takes place in succession.
  • a reversal of the direction of the individual cars in particular takes place individually and in succession.

  • c) means for reversing the assignment of the travel direction in this one shaft or this partial quantity of the at least three elevator shafts such that all cars, which are located in this one elevator shaft or the partial quantity of the at least three elevator shafts, move only in one travel direction, which is opposite to the travel direction thereof in the first operating state,
  • d) means for repeating the steps b) and c) for further elevator shafts, until a desired number of elevator shafts or all elevator shafts have an assignment of a travel direction UP or DOWN, which is opposite to the original assignment according to feature a).
  • the means are set up such that a reversing of the travel directions assigned to the individual elevator shafts is carried out successively, in order to get from the first operating state to the second operating state. It is in particular further provided that the means are advantageously further embodied such that the reversal of the direction of individual cars takes place individually and in succession. A reversal of the direction of the individual shafts in particular takes place in succession accordingly.
  • an elevator system is enabled to change between different operating states in a highly effective manner. It is important to point out that the used wording that cars, which are located in a respective elevator shaft, can move only in upwards direction or downwards direction, respectively, covers that these cars can also stop on a corresponding floor, for example in the event that a car is called by a user. Only a moving of the car in the direction opposite to the assigned travel direction is impossible.

  • the average cycle time is understood to be the average time, which lapses while two consecutive cars pass a certain floor, for example a main stop, such as, for example, the ground floor stop.
  • the cycle time mainly depends on stop times of the cars on individual floors, wherein the cycle time is increased in particular if different cars are to stop on the same floor.
  • the stop times in particular comprise the time for opening and for closing the respective elevator or car doors, respectively, as well as the time for passengers to enter and exit. Safety distances between individual cars must be considered as well.

  • the state B can also be brought about in that the assignment of the travel direction in the elevator shaft 130 is cancelled only when all passengers, who stay in a car in the elevator shaft 130 , have reached their target floors. This can in particular also take place successively, in that a car, for example, which has reached the target floor of a passenger in elevator shaft 130 , is thus blocked for further rides, until all passengers in cars, which are located in elevator shaft 130 , have reached their target floor.
